Me, The Burren and Sean Scully

I recently visited Ireland and fell in love with The Burren region. It’s covered in limestone and feels otherworldly and weird.

It didn’t take long in my travels to discover that I wasn’t alone in feeling inspired by this landscape. Sean Scully, originally from Ireland and who’s work I love, used the arrangement of the limestone to create a large body of work consisting of photographs…

and paintings…

This Burren contains a lifetime worth of ideas. I can’t wait to get back to my studio and dive in to my own photographs and memories of this magical place.
